One of my favourite antipasto/ appetizer is Italian Seafood Salad. Sometimes I think the perfect supper would be just 3 or 4 amazing appetizers with a side of wonderful whole whead bread.Ingridients

1¼ cups (250 grams) cleaned calamari or squid or both

1¼ cups (250 grams) cleaned octopus

1½ cups (100 grams) mussels (without the shell)

1¾ cups (200 grams) small shrimp cleaned

1 stalk celery chopped finely -optional

¼ cup (8 grams) parsley chopped - optional

¼ cup (56 grams) extra vingin olive oil

juice from ½ lemon

salt and pepper

In a large pot of boiling water, boil for approximately 55-60 minutes the calamari, squid. In other pot put octopus, it requires a much longer cooking time, so if you choose to include it, you will need to add an additional hour or so to your preparation time. Remove them and boil mussels and shrimps for about 10 minutes. If you have mussels with shell - bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil in the same saucepan and toss in the mussels. Return to a boil, cover, and steam for 3 to 5 minutes, until they're all opened. (Discard any that remain unopened after 5 minutes.) Remove the mussels from the shells and discard the shells.

Drain all ingridients in the medium-sized bowl a second time just to remove excess liquid and let cool.
